    Hi everyone, Thanks for your advice. He was doing quite well but tonight when we were changing the bandaging my boyfriend accidentally held him too tightly and he died. I think he would have made it but these things happen. Going to have a good cry and maybe incubate the last couple eggs he...

    New button quail hiding all day

    Thanks both! He’s still shy but seems to be doing much better today. I’ve had tropical birds growing up but these guys are different enough that I’m just really nervous I’ll let them down.
